[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Su-yeon] During the Chuseok holiday period, the comprehensive mobility platform TMAP recorded its highest-ever daily active users (DAU). TMAP Mobility announced on the 13th that a total of 25,766,885 users (including duplicates) used TMAP from the 8th to the 12th, the Chuseok holiday period.

On the 8th, when the main travel began, TMAP's daily users reached 5.41 million, surpassing the previous record. On Chuseok day (the 10th), when homecoming, returning, and travel were concentrated, the number again set a new record at 5.47 million. This is more than a 4% increase compared to the previous highest number of 5.22 million on May 7. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport had estimated the Chuseok holiday travel population at 30.17 million. This means about half of the entire population (51.62 million) used TMAP during the holiday period.

This was followed by Incheon International Airport (14,034 requests), Gwangmyeong Station (10,694 requests), Starfield Hanam (9,621 requests), and Seoul Station (9,079 requests).

Meanwhile, on the afternoon of the 8th, the day before the Chuseok holiday, TMAP experienced about a 3-hour and 20-minute delay in access due to a surge in users.
